Tapping Cellular Phones

Emergency services from wireless vendors to non-profit
groups are increasingly tapping into technology to
build alert systems and location-based platforms.

In one example, the Center for Missing and Exploited
Children this week launched a program to highlight
an emergency service allowing cellular subscribers
to sign up online to receive text messages on any
cell phone. The organization teamed up with carriers
and other groups last year to design the Wireless
AMBER Alerts system.

Hebrew SeniorLife, a long-term care facility for
the elderly in Boston, is putting technology in the
hands of field nurses to give them an edge as they
drum up patient referrals from hospitals.Hebrew SeniorLife has a corps of five nurses who
serve as ‘‘clinical liaisons’’ in hospitals.
Their job is to find and evaluate seriously ill patients
who are about to be discharged from the hospital and
win a referral to Hebrew SeniorLife for the next stage
of their healthcare.

Rural cellphone carriers say their bigger national
competitors are squeezing them out of the wireless
market by charging them exorbitant roaming rates or
by refusing to allow them to roam at all. The hardships have forced dozens of rural carriers
to sell their businesses to larger regional or national
rivals the past three years, says Jessica Bridges,
who heads the Rural Telecommunications Group, a small-carrier
association. "A whole bunch of these little guys have been selling
out," she says. "They just cannot compete in their
markets." The trend diminishes wireless coverage, she says,
because the remaining big carriers serving the countryside
often neglect sparsely populated pockets, leaving
them without any cellphone service.

to investigate the NSA

with regulating communications companies and investigating
violations of relevant laws, has declined to look
into the allegations that three large telcos cooperated
with the National Security Agency to wiretap domestic
phone calls and Internet communications.In a letter to Rep. Edward J. Markey dated Monday,

Agency's alleged domestic wiretapping program would
have to be able to force the military agency to produce

05/23/2006 Cellular Industry
Calls For National Regulations

The current mix of state and federal regulations
covering the cellular industry should be replaced
by a single federal regulatory framework, the trade
organization representing U.S. cellular operators
said Thursday. Steve Largent, CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA), made his plea to the
Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.
He told the committee that a single regulatory framework
should replace the current situation in which both
state public utility commissions and federal agencies
such as the Federal Communications Commission control
the industry.
